I'm usually on two Minds on this. With some Authors, I agree that Chronological order or series order makes more sense as You get a better idea of the Arc of the Storyline.

In other cases, as in Asimov I feel that Doing so would do more of a disservice, as the Prequels take a lot joy of discover / new ideas out of the Earlier books.

Spoiler:
What we find out in the Foundation Prequels and sequels, especially about the Second Foundation, and the Robots involvement, Gia, etc kind of soiled the enjoyment I got out of the Originals as I now kept on seeing signs of manipulations or inconstancies which took me away from the book itself.
